Musk isn't gonna give to Democrats because he wants to shrink government too. The reason he is upset is the bill is it's not cutting spending (I mean it is in certain areas, but it's also massively increasing the deficit).

And I seriously doubt Musk is gonna primary all 200+ Republicans up next year. He's mercurial - within a month he'll be on to something else.
